Which of the following techniques would best allow students to compare research questions on the history and social impact of computing tools?
  1. Posting a list of potential research questions to social media and asking followers to vote for one.
  2. Reading and comparing the first-returned search result for each potential research question.
  3. Evaluating information from an influential technology blogger and taking their written recommendation.
  4. Searching the text of potential questions on news and scholarship databases and comparing the numbers of results returned.
Explanation
Correct Response: D. The best way to compare research questions is to examine their prevalence in real world usage. A well-worded question will return more results from a search of existing work. A is incorrect because one's social media followers consist of a small and biased sample set. B is incorrect because first returned results are not necessarily the most relevant. C is incorrect because an influential blogger will not necessarily know which questions will be most productive.
